List of SRI International people

 * Nominator(s): Disavian (talk) 22:34, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it to fit the featured list criteria. I initially created it in order to clean up the people section of SRI International; I also created the relevant people category and did an extensive check of Special:WhatLinksHere/SRI International to ensure that the list and the category includes all prominent biographical articles about the subject. While there are surely other notable people that have worked for SRI, I believe that they will have to be added over time as relevant articles are created. I'm looking forward to your feedback on how I can improve this list. Thanks, Disavian (talk) 22:34, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Oppose a few too many things to deal with right now... The Rambling Man (talk) 18:56, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Lead images are all very well but who are they and why are they so relevant that they appear in the lead? Useful captions would be good.
 * Any reason the Ref column is so wide in each table?
 * "SRI, based in Menlo Park, California, was established " would be better as "Based in Menlo Park, California, it was established .."
 * Explain AI.
 * "produced notable researchers and engineers long before computing was mainstream." prove it.
 * "produced notable names including" no it didn't. This is an encyclopaedic article, not tabloid junk.
 * Hate the fact you're using Carlson's image twice in quick succession.
 * Yeah, I don't like that either. Fixed. Disavian (talk) 02:01, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The "Notability" column really is more of a "notes" column. Also, check that you don't use periods for incomplete sentences.
 * Similarly check the image captions for incomplete sentences.
 * Harman has no reference. Check this and any others.
 * I have no idea how I missed that. I added one ref, and ideally I'll find at least one other. Disavian (talk) 02:34, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Avoid SHOUTING in the ref titles.
 * Author names in refs, is it first last or last, first? Be consistent.
 * Don't mix "Retrieved by" date formats in the refs.
 * I believe that I have fixed that. Disavian (talk) 02:34, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestions. I'll have a look at implementing some of these changes. Disavian (talk) 00:17, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry that I haven't gotten to these yet, I was at A-Kon this past weekend. Disavian (talk) 16:25, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
